125 Scouts + 429 Merit Badges = One UNSTOPPABLE Weekend!

The snow was falling, but the energy at Parker Scout Reservation was through the roof! This past weekend, our Scouts proved exactly what it means to "Be Prepared." While the March flakes piled up outside, 125 determined Scouts were busy collectively tackling a massive 429 merit badges!
From the high-tech frontier of Artificial Intelligence to the hands-on grit of Plumbing, and Textiles, the variety of skills mastered was incredible. We even had Scouts finding the rhythm in Music and (ironically!) becoming experts in Weather.
Huge Shoutout to our Counselors & Volunteers whose expertise turned 429 goals into reality. To the Kitchen Staff for keeping 125 hungry Scouts plus their leaders fueled, warm, and ready to learn. To the Scouts for making the snow just another part of the adventure!

Scouts and Leaders: We want to see the weekend through your eyes!
1. Post a photo of your Scout/s from the weekend showing a skill they learned.
2. Tag us and use .
3. Tell us which Merit Badge was their favorite!

Let’s keep that momentum rolling all the way to our Skills & Adventure Weekend in October!
